A Ride Instead of a Walk — #WalkingSquares

Hi all ๐Ÿ˜ƒ My entry for Becky’s November WalkingSquares.

With some of our trails, paths & roads now covered with leaf mulch & mud, we’ve got some new grippier tyres (Schwalbe Smart Sam Plus) for our bikes. I fitted them the other day & yesterday was our first time out on them to see how they handle the conditions. We headed up to Palacerigg Country Park on tracks that we wouldn’t have ridden on the original tyres; the new ones did very well ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

This next one may not be technically correct, but I’m putting it in anyway ๐Ÿ˜ I know the plural for sheep is sheep, but I prefer sheeps or sheepses (“change approved” as Ellie would say in Cougar Town ๐Ÿ˜‚).
